Texas State Senator "Why aren't you speaking English"

messenger says...

Clearly, printing forms in two languages has not crippled the Canadian economy. Microsoft publishes their software in (guessing) a hundred different languages. Hasn't hurt them either. And the poor, poor senator who once or twice in his career (this clearly isn't a common occurrence in his presence) has to hear a short deposition twice. Really? That's all you've got that's going to destroy nations?

You didn't answer me about whether Switzerland is a nation, with its four official languages.>> ^quantumushroom:

Multi-lingualism is another barrier to understanding and unity. E Plurius Unum. From Many, One.
What will happen to a nation is what's happening now. Government agencies must prints forms in multiple languages. Businesses have to spend money to make multi-lingual everything. And Senator Who-is-100%-Correct (and us) has to listen to everything twice.
Without common borders, language and culture, (and common sense) there is no nation, period.
Too bad there wasn't this fount of liberal wisdom back in the 1920s. Imagine! All those immigrants flowing into Ellis Island learning English as quickly as possible. What were they thinking?

>> ^messenger:
So Canada isn't a nation because not everyone speaks the same language? Switzerland isn't a nation? India? Spain? China? Singapore? Hong Kong?
What do you think will happen to a nation if it allows speakers of other languages to give depositions in that language? How does that eliminate the nation?>> ^quantumushroom:
